I guess I should have said I have a remote secure FTP server I am trying to connect to. The remote FTP server requires a secure connection to even get a logon prompt (when I do it via a browser) This effort is to get a script created to connect securely via FTP and pull a file down to my HP-UX box.

Attempts to connect from the command line using port 443 fail with "Unknown host" & "421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection"
